Sundjata Member # 13096	posted Can you recommend any really good music reflecting indigenous Egyptian musical traditions (ideally something that I can easily access from the web)?
Sundjata Member # 13096	posted ^Well, this is a sincere request. Why don't you help me out, then?
Sundjata Member # 13096	posted Best to ignore the slanderous nonsense. The kid obviously has no higher calling in his life other than obsessing over someone he's likely never met or is ever gonna meet.
Djehuti Member # 6698	posted ^^ "(someone he's likely never met or is ever gonna meet)" In other words a REAL Egyptian. Yes I agree.

ausar Member # 1797	posted Son-jara, I don't know what you mean by indigenous music? Do you mean music of the rural Egyptians or more urban music like Sha'abi? Might you also mean religious music of Sufis and Copts? If you have access to a University library Musicians of the Nile and the Music of Upper and Lower Egypt should give you a indication what indigenous Egyptian music is like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh4iWqixLOs ____Musicians of the Nile Salamaat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxM7My1Stnk&feature=related ____musicians of the Nile http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCB6Nil3eiE __Hamza el Din, a Nubian musician but still apart of the Nile valley tradition http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_NATkcAXQQ ______ More Nubian than saidi but still alot of processions in Upper Egypt take place with the sound of a tar and doulbek drum.
Sundjata Member # 13096	posted ^Thank you both KING and ausar, this is pretty much what I was after. What I meant by indigenous was 'rooted' in local tradition as opposed to urban or Arabic-influence.
ausar Member # 1797	posted These music traditions are indigenous but some of the instruments are foreign. Especially indigenous is funerary and moulid music in rural Upper and Lower Egypt.
Whatbox Member # 10819	posted Couldd be interesting were there ever someone interested in studying the music of the region NE Africa and Teh ME. An anthropologist might even be able to link music today to stuff mentioned somewhat back through time.
Sundjata Member # 13096	posted ausar! Can you clear some messages from your inbox, please? I was trying to send you a PM but can't. I was going to ask if you can move this thread of mine to the Egyptology forum.

Especially indigenous is funerary and moulid music in rural Upper and Lower Egypt. This explains why much of the rural music from these areas possess a distinct sound compared to other music in the 'Middle East'. They don't sound exactly Arab, yet many Arab instruments are used.
